Books of 2010
Wow it's been awhile since I blogged--the holidays, and school ending, and a more awake and playful baby have kept my attention. I managed to read 147 books this year, 3 short of my goal--and here are my favorite reads from this year. I read a lot of young adult literature this year and they were so good.

Christmas Cards
Made this card to give to Elle's Daycare Teachers! This isn't the card going out to our family and friends--stay tuned later this week for that reveal. I wanted a simple card that I could add several pictures to and this fit the bill--plus the colors coordinated with her outfits. Luckily I had a willing model today--she let me change her 4 times to take pictures.

Scrapping Our Thanksgiving
So Elle was up at around 4:30 and went back to sleep, I am awake--so I decided to catch up on some pages from our Thanksgiving weekend. Enjoy!

Christmas Countdown--for the hubby
Inspired by this post from the Dating Divas and some freebies from Just So Scrappy, I put this countdown together for Kevin. It is full of compliments and expressions of gratitude, a few gifts of service from me to him, and a couple mini-dates. And yes it only has 18 days, as we are leaving for CA on the 18th!

So since I have been getting email saying how cute our card is I can finally reveal our winning choice. I love this card--it is everything I would have written in a letter in a cute format that did not require me writing a letter to everyone--plus at a glance our friends and family know what happened with us this year.
My unsolicited Christmas Card tips:
--Order extras I have 45 people on my list but I keep 5 in reserve for cards that get sent to us by people not on our list--I think it's just plain nice to return a card with a card.
--As nice as hand addressed envelopes are--address labels save so much time! I have an excel spreadsheet, bought some labels(after a coupon for 88 cents), found the template, added a cute font and voila!
--And return address labels are a must--even though there were coordinating ones from shutterfly--I couldn't resist the cute ones from A Touch of Whimsy!
--And save a card, I am going to frame ours and add it to our photo wall, I wish I had done this last year as well.
Merry Christmas Everyone!!
